I am listing my 1964 vw bug. I am trying to finish another of my vehicles, bug this one is so darn clean and original, other than the 2" dropped spindles, and dropped in back. This would be perfect for driving as is, painting and restoring.... 
There is original brochures, showing the car they picked out new. Sold here in colorado brand new at mt. States vw. I have never had one this clean as far as damage or rust, as it is only starting to bubble on very lower corners, and very very small amount on 1 rear bumper mount, and a small touch inside rear wheel well as shown. It has never been hit, and all panels line up nice, doors shut like they should, as does hood and rear deck. Twist handle locks down deck lid, and inside hood release works, and shuts tight with a finger push. Nose is super nice where the tire sits, and bumper attaches. No rust, no hits. Pan is super clean, title matches front tag, and vin, and still retains its original 1200 engine, with 6 volts. Car has been painted at some time but just as a protectant, no body work done, as there are small dings on fenders still. Seats have cheap seat covers, as the original brown and tan striped seats are underneath, but in need of recovering. Headliner is nice, but needs repair around window. The radio does not work.
The headlights all work- high and low, turn signals, running lights, horn, dash lights all work, even interior Light comes on with either door. Just a nice un messed with 50 year old vw. Last of the small windows. The heater cranks on this, it is hot, and defroster works great!!! No smell with windows rolled up and heat on.. Clean heat. Still has some of its original tools in the nose. Gets lots of looks where it goes. 
The car runs great, fast idle works, and kicks down. Car is quite... Sounds like a vw. I was driving it yesterday, and ran perfect, down the highway at 55-65 no problem. I put about 80 miles on it with temp being about 85 out. It rides good to. The previous owner put the dropped spindles on the front, and lowered the rear also. I was going to put some brm wheels on it, and leave it alone. The doors still lock with its original key. Good color the panama beige. I have some paperwork from 1990 when it went in for some service and had 68,000 miles on it then. Just a nice un-hit almost 100% rust free early vw. This will be very hard to replace, or upgrade for the money...
It is colorado titled and insured in my name. Car will not be released until funds 100% clear my bank! cashiers check! or personal- either. Please don't show up with either prepared to take it, unless verified Wells Fargo check... Or of corse cash... The reserve on this will be under $5,000!!!! I will include a low buy it now, but once reserve is met, it will go away... Please ask any questions if you have any before bidding. If you have less than 10+ FEEDBACKS! you mugs email before bidding! or I may cancel your bid. These are getting very hard to find, rust free and unhit, and a 64 or earlier. 
I have tried to describe his as accurate as possible, not some 1 line description as a lot of cars listed.

I forgot to mention Also----- I have a new 6 volt battery recently installed, and car does have its spare, just took it out for nose photos....

An inside look at VW's new California R&D center

Thu, 18 Oct 2012

Less than two months ago, the Volkswagen Group opened a new facility in Oxnard, California (about an hour's drive west of Los Angeles). The $27 million investment, touted as Test Center California (TCC), serves as a research and development lab testing emissions for all brands under Volkswagen's umbrella, including its newest member, Porsche. While still not fully operational, we toured the new 64,000-square-foot building last week and had a first-hand opportunity to see just how much work is involved testing engines and meeting increasingly stringent government emissions standards.
Replacing a similar facility established in 1990 in Westlake Village (about 20-minutes east of the new location), our guide explained how Oxnard was chosen for its temperate climate, varied regional terrain for test drives and low altitude. (The area is only a few feet above sea level - a critical parameter when instrument testing emissions.) The new facility is capable of analyzing hundreds of vehicles, prototypes and customer-owned vehicles, annually.
Most interesting to us was the huge stainless steel climate chamber, with a massive four-wheel dynamometer that allows VW to test running vehicles in both scorching desert and freezing climates without ever leaving the building (an Audi Q7 was running in place during our visit). We were also mesmerized by the countless storage tanks and intricate plumbing of chemicals, stored in both liquid and gas states, needed to perform the variety of tests. Lastly, we took a look at Bugatti's service center on the west coast, located completely within the new center. While there were no supercars on site, the facility is equipped with plenty of spare forged wheels (mounted with expensive Michelin PAX tires) and a Veyron-specific repair jig that allows the vehicle to be completely disassembled, if needed. It is a shame that the facility, which set off all of our automotive geek alerts, is closed to the public.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.

2015 Volkswagen Golf R [w/video]

Mon, Nov 24 2014

Volkswagen hired a photographer to come shoot the handful of journalists that it brought to drive the 2015 Golf R at Buttonwillow Raceway north of Los Angeles. This fact, though unremarkable in and of itself, was something I hadn't noticed until I was well into my track time – probably ten laps deep on a day that would see me run twice that number. In any event, I noticed the intrepid shooter as he was sprinting from one side of the track to the other somewhere before Turn 2, while I was barreling down the main straightaway, still looking through Turn 1. In the roughly two-mile configuration of the track that I drove, Buttonwillow is a big, wide-open circuit, largely flat and with excellent overall visibility. On that layout, and just hours into my Golf R experience, I'd already become confident in endeavoring to push the limits of VW's latest blistering hatch. In fact, the easy nature of driving the thing quickly had me overestimating my pace. So when I saw the photog sprint across the tarmac I instinctively slowed way too much, way too early for Turn 1. Looking back at the incident after I'd pitted for the session, I laughed at myself, knowing I'd have had to be driving almost double my actual speed to put the camera guy in any real danger of being hit. But the experience crystallized what my full test of the R bore out: this is a car that makes you feel much faster than you otherwise would, at least in a competition setting. The 2015 Golf R is an uber hatch that will flatter those hyper-enthusiasts passionate enough to splash out on its steep price tag, but without threatening sales of core models like the GTI and its ilk. That's a good thing for the VW fanboys, to be sure, and, I'd argue, a great thing for the strength of the German brand overall. {C} The R felt both placid and comfortable while I clicked off highway miles in search of the racetrack. My test in California had at least two things in common with the First Drive feature that Steve Ewing brought us with the Golf R in Sweden. First, we both drove European specification cars (though mine didn't suffer from the same sticker abuse that Steve's did). Second, we were both somewhat limited in terms of driving the car in varied, real-world situations. My street route consisted almost entirely of tracking California's I-5 north out of Los Angeles; which any Angelino will tell you is a less-than-riveting mode of travel.
